Mathematical Physics
The mathematical physics group is concerned with problems in
statistical mechanics, atomic and
molecular physics, quantum field theory, and, in general,
with the mathematical foundations of
theoretical physics. This includes such subjects as quantum mechanics
(both nonrelativistic and relativistic), atomic and molecular
physics, disorder effects in condensed matter, the existence and properties of the
phases of model ferromagnets, the stability of matter, the
theory of symmetry and symmetry breaking in
quantum field theory (both in general and in concrete
models), and mathematical developments in
functional analysis, algebra and modern probability theory, to which such subjects lead.
In addition to the physics faculty, students in mathematical
physics have contact with the faculty of the
mathematics department.
